Quick answer

Upload one photo to Starrd's I Got That Feeling template and it stands you up full-length, then maps the viral kitchen dance onto you move for move with Kling 2.6 Motion Control — the arm throws, the squat bounce, the hands on the head and the big arm spread at the end. It costs 100 credits (about $5), takes one photo, and comes out vertical 9:16 at about 11 seconds with the original song, BBE AJ's "Got That Feelin'" featuring Boosie Badazz.

One photo in, and out comes you doing the viral kitchen dance to "Got That Feelin'" — the arm throws, the squat bounce, hands on the head, the big finish — move for move. Here's exactly what you get:

What the Trend Actually Is

The song is "Got That Feelin'" by BBE AJ featuring Boosie Badazz, and the dance is short, loud and easy to read: arms thrown out wide, both arms straight up, a deep squat bounce with the hands dropping between the knees, hands pressed to the head, then one big arms-up spread to finish.

The clip this template copies was filmed in an ordinary kitchen by TikTok creator @itsalliebrown, with the on-screen caption "still don't know how that one girl does it." That caption is most of why it travels: the moves look simple, and doing them with that much commitment is the part people can't quite pull off.

Why it works: every move is big enough to read on a phone screen, and the whole routine fits in about eleven seconds. It's a dance you recognise on the first arm throw.

Why This Is Motion Control, Not a Prompt

You can't describe your way to this video. Tell a model "a woman dancing in a kitchen" and you get some dancing — a different routine every time, never on the song's beats. The trend is this exact sequence.

Motion control fixes that. It takes two things:

  • A driving clip — the original dance, which supplies every move and the song.
  • A still image — you, which supplies the person.

The model estimates a skeleton from the clip and maps it onto your photo, so the timing lands exactly where the original's does.

The Fastest Way

I Got That Feeling

One photo. You, full-length, doing the whole routine to the original song. About 11 seconds, vertical.

Try It

One photo, 100 credits, no prompt. The template stands you up full-length, runs the motion pass on Kling 2.6, and returns the clip with the song underneath.

Pro Tip

You don't need to be standing, or dancing, in your photo. A normal picture works — even sitting or kneeling. Standing you up full-length is a step the template does before it animates anything, because the routine needs legs and feet to drive.

Build It Yourself

1. Stand the subject up first. Motion control estimates a skeleton from your still, so it needs one clean, full-body, upright figure: head to feet in frame, arms loose and clearly away from the body, nothing overlapping. Generate the still on its own and look at it before paying for any video.

The dance-ready stance
Transform the main subject from the reference photo into a full-body shot of the SAME subject standing TALL and FULLY UPRIGHT in a relaxed, dance-ready posture — body vertical, balanced and stable on its lower limbs, weight centered, upper limbs loose and slightly away from the body, ready to move. If the subject is an animal on all fours, rear it up onto its hind legs into a steady bipedal stance. PRESERVE the subject's exact identity — the same individual, only the pose changes. The subject's whole body forms one clear, unobstructed silhouette. KEEP the same background, setting and lighting from the reference photo; remove anything blocking the subject so it stands alone, full-body head-to-feet, centered. Vertical 9:16 framing, photorealistic, even flattering lighting. No text, no logos, no watermarks.

2. Then drive it with the clip. Feed the still and the dance clip to Kling 2.6 Motion Control at 720p. The video prompt barely matters — the timing comes from the clip, not the words:

Motion-pass prompt
The subject performs an energetic, rhythmic dance with full-body movement — bouncing, stepping, and swinging the arms to the beat. Confident, fun, playful energy. Smooth natural motion, stable consistent character.

Model choice: Kling 2.6, not 3.0 — 3.0 turns every failure into the same opaque error. And skip 480p; the motion-control path only takes 720p and up. The clip's burned-in caption doesn't matter: only the motion and the audio carry across, never the source's background or text. The output takes its background — and its 9:16 shape — from your still.

Common Mistakes

Prompting the dance instead of driving it. A described dance is a different dance every render. Copy the clip.

A half-body still with no transform. No legs means no squat bounce, and the bounce is half the routine.

Something crossing your body. A bag strap, a drink, another person's arm — anything in front of you breaks the silhouette, and the skeleton estimate with it.

Posting it muted. The song is the hook. Sound on.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the I Got That Feeling dance?

It's a short solo dance to "Got That Feelin'" by BBE AJ featuring Boosie Badazz: big arm throws out to the side, both arms straight up, a deep squat bounce with the hands dropping between the knees, hands on the head, and a wide arms-up spread at the end. The clip this template is built from was filmed in a kitchen by TikTok creator @itsalliebrown, captioned "still don't know how that one girl does it."

How many photos does it take?

One. The template stands you up full-length before it animates anything, so a normal photo works — you don't need to be mid-dance, or even standing, in the picture.

Does it work on pets and babies?

Yes. The template stands an animal up on its hind legs first so the routine has a skeleton to drive, and it works on babies and toddlers too. Fluffy pets pass moderation more reliably than short-haired ones when reared up.

Does it use my own room?

Yes. The template keeps the background, setting and lighting from your own photo and only changes the pose — anything in front of you is cleared so you stand alone, full-length. The source kitchen never appears; only the dance and the song come across.

How much does it cost?

100 credits, about $5, the same as every other video template. No subscription, and credits never expire. New accounts start with 20 welcome credits, which covers a photo pack or a couple of AI songs but not a full video.

Why about 11 seconds?

That's the length of the whole routine in the source clip, from the first arm throw to the final arms-up spread, so the video ends on the move rather than trailing off.

What photo works best?

One clear, well-lit photo of a single person, full body if you have it, with nothing in front of you. Half-body photos work too; the template extends them. Avoid group shots and anything crossing your body.

Do I need to label it as AI?

Yes — TikTok, Instagram and YouTube all require AI-generated content to be disclosed. It costs you nothing; the clip travels fine with the label on.
